Sea Hyun Lee: Between Red

in , ,

This blood-orange land on oil canvases by Sea Hyun Lee is actually a mountains from the border between North ans South Korea. Union Gallery, what represents the author, describe the paintings as

Deeply personal works that reference Lee’s own sense of the past and its losses. Here, Lee tarries with two familiar ideas: nostalgia and utopia. But he avoids approaching either with mere simplicity or mere skepticism. Instead, his paintings are infused with a sophisticated sense of nostalgia, and a wry idea of utopia.

Hyper Realism in a bowl by Keng Lye

in , , ,

Singapore-based artist Keng Lye meticulously produces three-dimensional works of art with acrylics and epoxy resin that lie somewhere between painting and sculpture. Using a technique originated by Riusuke Fukahori, Lye manages to produce the illusion of different animals swimming in water. The time-consuming process involves pouring resin into a bowl and then painting on top of it with acrylics, layer by layer. (via MMN)

Vincent Giarrano

in , ,

Vincent Giarrano's figurative paintings in which the artist has taken moments from everyday life, and has made of them something beautiful and introspective.

“What inspires me most is the energy and beauty of my experiences,” says Giarrano. “I see painting as a way to appreciate what is all around us, stuff we take for granted or don't notice. My favorite things to paint are scenes of life in New York City. I love the architecture and people of the city. It's endlessly inspiring. I enjoy painting scenes on the streets but also interiors, which are often about people, alone and in their own thoughts. For me, that presents someone as more truly himself or herself.”

in , , , ,

Thierry Cohen is seen as one of the pioneers of digital photography. Since 2010 he has devoted himself to a single project – “Villes Eteintes” (Darkened Cities) – which depicts the major cities of the world as they would appear at night without light pollution, or in more poetic terms: how they would look if we could see the stars. (via BD)

To make the work he combines two photographs, one with the retouched night city and second with the sky in a same angle of the cityscape and latitude just where it is possible to see the stars like the Mojave, the Sahara, and the Atacama Desert.

Tetris Stop Motion Chalk Art by Chris Carlson

Ice Typography by Nicole Dextras

in , , , ,

Even this coolest winter in European history has its pluses if you are a creative head. For Canadian environmental artist Nicole Dextras a severe weather is just another challenge to create massive ice messages to the human being or penguins. http://www.flickr.com/photos/ndextras/

When the ice texts are installed on site, the temperature determines how long it will take for them to change state from solid to liquid. This phase of transition becomes symbolic of the interconnectedness of language and culture to the land as they are affected by time and by a constant shifting and transforming nature.
